MySpace 3.0 Options

[xcameronscottx]

I work as a freelance designer and most of my work comes from bands that need MySpace layouts done. I've heard that a lot of the 3.0 coding will be like 2.0 (Custom CSS is apparently in Beta testing) and am currently in the process of learning 2.0 coding to keep myself updated, just in case 3.0 isn't optional (which from what I've read, it isn't). I've also read there will be the implementation of "HTML Box" modules, but I'm not sure if those would be usable to create layouts in combination with the custom CSS.

So what have you heard about MySpace 3.0 and how do you think it will affect the site as a whole?

Yeah, to me, it just seems like they're trying way too hard to be Facebook. However, this 3.0 business has created quite a stir and Facebook isn't nearly as popular as it was earlier in the year, so who knows what'll happen. As for the designing aspect, I'm going to be taking the necessary precautions to soften the impact of 3.0 (moving to a full website, creating more of a print/identity based portfolio) just in case it so happens that it can't be edited as easily and comfortably as previous band profiles. I had planned to do a lot of that eventually, but this is kind of forcing it into immediate action.
